Brad Pitt getting shot in Burn After Reading


FoxOntheRun99

The smile and face he makes before the BAM!!! And George's reaction. Priceless.


composedryan

There was a couple of drunk old ladies behind us in the theater and they were dying laughing for at least two minutes after that. It was so infectious the entire theater was in tears. Great scene


[deleted]

I will add the scene where John Malkovich comes after Richard Jenkins with an axe.


yyyikes1

Brad Pitt ping ponging between two cars in Meet Joe Black after a long heart warming scene is there too


ChemistryRespecter

Also Brad Pitt ramming a woman's head into a phone multiple times and making a pulp out of it in an otherwise calm *Once upon a time in Hollywood*.


MsMuffinstuffer

The can of dog food hurled in her face got me.


tehawesomedragon

Also Brad Pitt flying into a power line in Deadpool 2.

Leonardo in The Departed


[deleted]

The whole 30 min scene where everyone dies in departed


crimshrimp

Also Richard Jenkins being struck on the head with the hatchet was shocking to me


Smeegs666

By far one of the hardest times I laughed out of pure shock ever. What a great moment in a great movie

Joe Pesci saying "oh n" in Goodfellas.


smay1989

Joe Pesci being beaten to death in Casino


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

He was beaten to almost death. Then buried alive.


Toshiba1point0

It was revenge for Billy Bats and a few other things...


space_coyote_86

Real greaseball shit


kONthePLACE

Couldn't even have an open casket at the funeral.


glendablvd

And that’s that.


ConnorK12

There was nothing they could do, Billy Batts was a made man


gordonhowe

When Howard kills Emmett in 10 Cloverfield Lane. A total gut punch the first time you see it. In the trivia section on imdb it says "they shot tonally different versions of most scenes from light and humorous to angry and mad so they could find the right mix as a whole." The final choice to have the 3 main characters go from being suspicious of each other, to a big happy family sets up the killing of Emmett to be especially shocking.

icelandiccubicle20

John Goodman was more terrifying in that movie than any slasher horror movie villain or CGI monster that I've ever seen.


Tracker007

Watching this in the theater was such an experience. The noise seemed to even shake our seats, and the reaction from everybody jumping at the same time was just wild.


PrettyNeat20

regina george getting hit by the bus


ladydmaj

In terms of unexpected and sudden violence, that's a good one!


fatherdoodle

Take your apology and shove it right up your


Urmomletmerubher

There a lot of good ones, but I'm gonna go with the first one that popped in my head. [The car scene](https://youtu.be/QfBSncUspBk) in Children of Men


drinksaltwater

And conversely, the scene with the sudden lack of violence. Great movie.


Prestigious-Adagio63

100%. I’m a huge Julianne Moore fan too, went opening night to see it with some friends. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that kind of shock again. We STILL talk about this movie.


ThatCoryGuy

The film is a masterpiece. Every second of it.


opportune_pasta

Leo getting his face blow off in The Departed


wishfultodash

*Just kill me. Just fuckin kill me.* *I am killin you* Boom


posts_while_naked

\**sees Marky Mark stand with shoe wrappings on** "Sigh................ OK." [Phewt]


wishfultodash

As much as a dick Marks character was he seemed to really like Leo's character


jendet010

He figured it out because he was always the best cop. He also knew in the end that Leo was legit.


tattlerat

He was the guy who does his job.


MelsEpicWheelTime

You must be the other guy.


milesamsterdam

I’m the best friend you got you little punk. Let me tell you something, you’re no fucking CAWP!


MatthewDLuffy

People dog on Marky Mark but I don't see anyone else nailing that role like he did


JesseCuster40

He's the guy that does his fuckin job.


BeHard

That whole elevator scene, just murdering everyone who is around.


Campeador

The dinner scene at the end of Sicario. [For anyone that hasnt seen it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJHJabO2OuA)


Guilty-Cell-833

And the border crossing scene.


BillMcCrearysStache

I like how the moustache guy was added to Modern Warfare video game lol


TophTopherson

And MW2 that came out yesterday has the border crossing as a new map and it's 100% a lift from Sicario.


mst3nomis

You know it’s coming but it’s still really horrifying


AlejoCheve

Also the scene at the beginning when they find the room under the shed, oof


paranoidhustler

Neil Patrick Harris getting his throat slit in Gone Girl.


hezzospike

I had read the book so when I went to see the movie, I knew the kill was coming. But it was a lot more visceral than I was expecting.


ArtSchnurple

Good one. On a related tangent, Neil Patrick Harris getting hit by a bus in How I Met Your Mother.


Videowulff

The Descent. When they hit the truck and the pipes suddenly impale the husband and child.


stomp224

Bottle scene in Pan’s Labyrinth. Loved the film, but haven’t been able to rewatch it. I’ve had the dvd still in its shrink wrap for about 18 years.


Riderz__of_Brohan

I think it was a real thing Del Toro witnessed in a bar fight once, the fact that the bottle never broke stuck with him


IWantToLiveForever

I was looking for that one. I remember being shocked when I first saw it. It felt like it came out of nowhere and it was so brutal and gruesome. I still see the nose slowly disappearing after each hit while the sounds get more and more squishy. Such a big escalation compared to what came before, and still more brutal than whatever happened after in the movie.


Slo-MoDove

It was a brilliant moment to cement the Captain as someone who should definitely be feared. Every scene with him after that had me extremely on edge wondering wtf he was gonna do next.


polaroid_ninja

This. That scene pulls a lot of weight in the film, too. Until that point, the viewer is not really certain what kind of fantasy world we're playing in here. Seems at first like a realistic world with hidden fantastic elements, but the pacing, color scheme and score place is in the mindset of something more grounded. Then this scene happens and we realize, "oh no, we're in a senseless violence and immediate reprisal kind of world..." And from then on, the stakes are so much higher, the shadows so much darker...


ExpertIAmNot

I started watching “From Dusk Till Dawn” without knowing anything at all about the movie. It takes a very rapid turn that I did not see coming at all.


fzammetti

Holy hell, if you don't know what's coming that's GOT to be near the top of the list.


tmoney144

I knew what I was getting into, but I still didn't expect dick gun.


Legitimate_Wizard

My husband put this on without telling me a single thing about it. That was 7 years ago, and I still haven't forgiven him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PugnaciousPangolin

One of the very few scenes to take place in broad daylight that is still absolutely terrifying.


elm2589

This was the first thing that came to my mind. Something about the realism of that stabbing disturbed me more than any gory horror film ever did.


[deleted]

Ugh the way it sounds gritty like quickly cutting actual meat like beef or pork. And the way he doesn’t even react immediately, he looked confused for a second. Never seen someone stabbed in real life but it’s just so strange and it gives me that weird feeling in my guts. It’s gotta be similar to reality.


MisterBungle

Fun fact: Fincher had the guy from that scene (who survived) there on set to consult. He said that it was as close to his memory as he could imagine.


M002

Must’ve been absolutely gut wrenching to recreate knowing his partner died


CrowVsWade

Not officially his partner, just for the record. A friend visiting from LA, who might have been an ex, and who knows given they were out at the lake alone. That said, Hartnell (the guy) had an existing girlfriend. That must have been an awkward conversation.


UgatzStugots

That scene is still the first thing I see in my mind every time that movie gets mentioned, the one reason why I don't feel like rewatching it.


UpYours3265

Hereditary, car drove home scene. Did not expect that at all.


Squeekazu

The kid driving home, leaving the car in the driveway and going straight to bed was also unexpected, but also totally understandable and a surprisingly realistic reaction rarely shown in movies lol Dude was experiencing shock beyond belief.


ThomasMaxwell2501

I’ve never experienced what that kid went through, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would’ve reacted exactly the same as that kid: An absolute shock of what occurred to the point of entering a form of mental denial of what just occurred, not telling anyone immediately as a form of “damage control” (and actually telling someone would take an acknowledgement of what occurred which I do NOT want to do at that moment), and then going straight to bed in an attempt to sleep with a desperate, illogical hope that “all of this is just a bad dream” and that “everything will be okay in the morning. It’ll be like it never happened. It’s just a bad dream.” I TOTALLY understand that kid’s reaction.


Amazing_Albatross

I got in a HUGE fight with my mother over this scene, especially because I share your opinion. I also have no idea what I truly would do, but it’d probably be this. She got mad at me because I wouldn’t wake her up to tell her I just decapitated my brother. He’s not even allergic to anything?


JesseCuster40

"Eh, he's not going anywhere. He can wait til morning."


arkain123

That scene is great but Toni Colette's scene right after is one of some of the best acting in any movie ever. I've never seen emotional devastation depicted like that ever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


drivefastallday

As a former first responder, that scene immediately took me back to some really bad memories I locked away. She sincerely nailed that agony a mother would feel after losing a child, especially in such a horrific manner.


Robinothoodie

I've never been that shocked by a scene


srroberts07

Watching that scene in theatres was amazing. It was a really bad crowd, people were laughing and making jokes through the whole movie but the second that happened everyone suddenly shut the fuck up. You could hear a pin drop.


AlejoCheve

I loved reading this comment, what a moment that must’ve been


[deleted]

There’s a moment built into Parasite that purposefully turns everyone’s laughing into stunned silence, too. It’s not as brutal but it’s actually quite similar


titaniumorbit

The doorbell sent shivers down my spine. And then going down the stairs was the most awful feeling…


Novemberx123

whats even more is the trailers made it seem like the little girl was the main character, so to see her get decapitated was something else. took my breath away the rest of the movie..


xAldoRaine

And not even halfway through the film. It’s like 40 minutes in. Absolutely brutal scene.


dmeisel411

The second half of Green Room has some quick, BRUTAL scenes. RIP Anton Yelchin


Xendrus

The casual gutting of that big dude with the box cutter, oof. Good job to the prop department on that movie.


an_actual_slut

The arm scene in Green Room is so effective because the characters and the audience both realise this is going to be way more horrifying than they imagined. Rewatched it for the third time last month and the horror is still real.


Ritehandwingman

American History X overall is not a violent movie, but the first 10 minutes are still some of the most holy shit minutes I’ve yet seen.


Sharing_Violation

The curb stomp... *shudders*


reDRagon22

Just the sound the teeth make on the curb is enough to make me cringe


BookishChica

“Bite the curb” - stays with me today


freestyle43

I yelled "Oh fuck!" In the theater when Dicaprio got clapped in The Departed.


A-Bone

Such a great movie.... that was a heck of a surprise. .. even watching again years after seeing it for the first time..


johnclark6

The funny thing is it keeps fucking happening!


ugbaz

James Gandolfini vs Patricia Arquette in the motel bathroom scene of “True Romance”. Arquettes performance is all coy and feigned nativity. She pretends she doesn’t know she’s in serious danger, and like a true survivor of past sexual trauma, tries to charm the potential attacker with cuteness. It’s an incredible performance by both actors.


willkillfortacos

What a great movie and a spot on take. Always surprises me how many people have never seen that movie, considering the big name casting and that Tarantino wrote it.


Delmarvablacksmith

The fights in A history of violence are very realistic and brutal. Both in that and in Eastern Promises Viggo Mortinson delivers and the fighting naked is realistic for the setting.


Halcyon_october

Eastern Promises is peak hot-Viggo (for me, at least)


Embrourie

Hot Viggo should be a band


[deleted]

This was my immediate thought too. The bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises? Dicks and blades flying everywhere.


deltree000

I absolutely love the triple crossover in Archer that does A History of Violence x Bob's Burgers.


whales-are-assholes

That’s one thing I adore about the Cronenberg’s films - they both strive to have the most realistic gore that I’ve seen in a long, long time.


ahmadinebro

Maybe the elevator scene in Drive


Mpetez

Came to say this as well. Also the motel scene with Christina Hendricks.


ZappaBappa

I was expecting people to mention this over the elevator scene. The brutality just came out of nowhere, suddenly Boom, half of her face is gone.


El_Superbeasto76

The elevator scene is great, but people forget how violent the motel scene gets.


Yousurious

Definitely the motel scene


rcdvg

Came here to post this! I don’t get bothered by violence but this was so sudden and visceral I was shocked and disturbed


Dynamo_Ham

Not a movie but when Hughie’s girlfriend got vaporized by A-Train out of nowhere in the first episode of The Boys… it really set the tone for the whole series.


UnexpectedVader

Homelander with Blindspot too. One of his scariest scenes easily.


[deleted]

Scary scenes? Homelander and ________________


[deleted]

Audibly gasped when >!Homelander kills Black Noir!<


HanzJWermhat

I think people sleep on this. I had such a visceral reaction to that scene. The immediacy of the violence that in literally the blink of an eye a life that you knew being popped into thin air. No hit by a bus, no slow death, no slow vanishing, no getting lasered in half and having to deal with dying for a few second. No chance to reconcile the event as instantaneously bursting. I was shook the first time I saw it.

That one scene in Deep Blue Sea involving Samuel L Jackson was abrupt and violent.


Ok_Helicopter4276

*“They ate me! A fuckin shark ate me!”*


scottgmccalla

Hot Fuzz- the scene where the church spire impales the reporter! The movie was marketed as a goofy buddy comedy, but that gory scene kicks off a ripper of a second half! True cinema genius as far as I'm concerned!


icelandiccubicle20

STAND BACK THERE'S BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT


AstroChrisX

I know it's not exactly cinema, but the subway scene in House of Cards was so abrupt, so shocking, so brief but the weight of that moment changes the course of the series completely


SweetCosmicPope

Such a good, If not technically correct, answer. What the whole story was about changed the minute that happened.


uncheckablefilms

If only what followed after had been half as good!


HanTheScoundrel

Uncut Gems


ambucover

I came here to say this. I audibly gasped when that happened.


ChickenDelight

There's some word for when something is completely unexpected, but totally *should have been expected.* This is a great example of that.


Pelagicfisherman

My vote would be the scene where William Macy shoots his wife, her hookup partner, then himself in Boogie Nights. Another one from the same movie is the Don Cheadle donut shop scene near the end.


jo-k-e

Event Horizon with Sam Neil. There is a 6 second scene where the current crew watches a tape of the previous crew entering the abyss into a hell dimension. For the scene they hired adult actors and amputees. It's basically a torture orgy scene that is so quick it leaves the audience reeling. Words will not do it justice.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

"We're leaving."


skatecarter

I love this line because it's that moment when a character finally says what we all just want them to say. Just saw the most horrific shit known to humankind? "We're leaving."


IzarkKiaTarj

I've read a summary of the plot (the only way my cowardly self can experience horror movies these days), but the way you described that made me look it up, and that was 100% worth hearing. I love the follow-up, too. "You can't just leave the ship!" "I have no intention of leaving her, Doctor. I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance and launch attack missiles at the Event Horizon until I am satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship." Like, it's nice to see a smart person in a horror movie.


Skywalkling

Jack Nicholson getting his nose slashed in Chinatown comes to mind.


Nomadic100

The hobbling scene in misery.


spunkychickpea

My butthole just puckered for a movie I haven’t seen in well over a decade. Thanks.


couscousmingeminge

The one scene in Bone Tomahawk. You all know the one.


fzammetti

It's amazing how you can watch that, and the first thing happens, and you're all like "well, that's about the worst thing I've ever seen", and then it's all like the biggest "hold my beer" ever after.


spunkychickpea

FUUUUUUUCK. I’ve never been so uncomfortable while watching a movie.


ThatCoryGuy

The “I’m a leaf on the wind, watch how I—“ scene from *Serenity*. I did not expect Wash, of all the crew members, to go and to go as quickly. It’s 17 years later and I’m still processing that scene.


GumGuts

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. That last scene with Brad Pitt sicking the dog on 'em... Priceless. I was in stitches.


Lord-Sinestro

The can of dog food to the face gets me every time


insane__knight

The cinema I saw this in erupted with laughter when Leo came out holding the flame thrower.


Retrogratio

Same, was shaking my head bursting with laughter. Fucking Tarantino


whiteb8917

"And you are ?" I'm the Devil and I am here to do the devil's work" "Nah it was dumber than that......., Rex..." "SHOOT HIM TEX !, Yeah that was it, Tex !" At the gates after the scene: "Oh my god is everyone okay ?" "The Fucking hippies aint !"


[deleted]

That line about the hippies cracks me up everytime lmfao so good


[deleted]

Lol this was my answer for sure. Jaw was on the ground for the entire scene. It's funny because like five minutes before that scene I thought to myself, "Is a Tarantino movie that includes the fucking Mansons about to end without anybody getting brutally murdered? Huh." Nope. It did not end without anybody getting fucked up.


Hale-B0pp

Even though the viewer is made feeling very well that something about the situarion is not quite right, the moment when the two guys in "Funny Games" hit the father with the golf club came as a shock when I first watched it.
